Did you know that somewhere in your house,
probably deep underground,
rests a little magical mouse?
Sleeping most of the time,
dreaming its life
through the centuries
But sometimes, if you are lucky, it'll awake,
rubbing the sleep from its face
with tiny paws that have withstood aeons of change.
It'll sniff around, picking up its black top hat off the ground,
ready to venture once more into the world of humans.
Why, you may ask?
Simple. It is on a mission.
A heist.
A thievery.
Getting a cookie is its ambition.
So when you hear a pitter-patter, but no rain is in sight,
it is probably the little footsteps of a mouse
about to steal chocolatey goodness from the house.
However, if you are ever so gracious and put out a plate,
it will simply take what is given,
staying near you, nibbling on crumbles,
telling the wildest stories—
about a world far from here,
full of magic and music,
and mice with top hats,
performing for cookies.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
